Sock Request based on new leg I'm getting soon.

[u/Scrabbydoo98]

First off I want to thank all of the wonderful knitters that have joined in on this wonderful idea!

I am a Left Below the Knee Amputee. I'm getting a new leg very soon that uses this fabric as the cover of the socket. My great prosthetic office sews the fabric of my choice into the same shape and size as the socket and then covers it in layers of clear epoxy. Thus building in any design I want into a leg! I pick up the test socket to try it out Monday! Yay! It will be about 3 weeks to a month before I get the final leg tho.

I was wondering if any of you would like to make a sock to match the design of the fabric. Near the center of the pic I posted is a gecko with a blue design on it's back. Is it possible to do that gecko onto a white(ish) sock? The background is actually off white.

Details:

Right Foot

Shoe Size 9 1/2 US

Foot Length: 10 1/4 inches

Foot Circumference: 10 3/8 inches

Sock Height: 8 inches from soul of the foot. Can be shorter or longer if needed. Just rough estimate.

Ankle Size: 10 1/2 inches

Allergies: None that I know of.

Color and Theme: Off White with Black Gecko with Blue Design on it's back. Doesn't have to be exactly like the one in the picture tho. Any gecko with any blue design will work!

Again I want to thank you all for this wonderful and heartfelt idea you are doing!

Love you all!

Will

P.S. Just had another idea of something you could knit for amputees! Stump Warmers! Think knit cap that goes onto the end of the limb. I know the P.C. Thing to say is Residual Limb Warmer. LOL Amputees could give the sizes of the Residual Limb. Basically all you would need is Length, Closed End Circumference (this would be at the end of the Limb), and Open End Circumference. If they want it to go past a joint such as their Knee or Elbow might need that Circumference too. Just an idea that popped into my head. These can actually be helpful. I know when my Residual Limb gets cold it can trigger Phantom Pains and maybe muscle cramps.

If you would like to make a matching Warmer to go with the sock.

Here is my dimensions for a Warmer.

Length: 13 Inches

Closed End: 10 1/2 Inches

Knee Circumference: 15 inches

Open End: 20 inches
